found this vid because a friend got me Samurai. I mean, you explain everything really good but for me who never even saw Sam, its still confusing. But i think this vid was more for Sam mains than for me, the Sam newbie hahah.

[Quetzelkoa]

Used to love your HotS videos, surprised to see you had exactly the FF vid I was looking for!

[mubo]

THANK YOU for making this video to explain the opener I'm so bad at openers but the way you broke it down made it so easy for even someone like me to understand! ♥

[TheKsingh]

Thank you for explaining and breaking this down flawlessly =) cheers

[esperkitty]

This is a much better explanation than a lot of what I've been told, as my brain doesn't understand written short-hand very well, and have never found the Balance Discord to be helpful (more off-putting, if anything). So thank you. I am still having trouble wrapping my head around doing it, and find myself reverting back to the Shadowbringers rotation, and working the double Meikyo Shisui during that original burst phase while keeping my Kenki low for when I pop Ikishoten for the new Ogi Namikiri to Kaeshi: Namikiri.

Thank you for being a guide that isn't just text with edgy music. That alone is a massive improvement over the top results.

I'm brand new to FFXIV, I've only been playing for a week. I just unlocked Samurai and wanted to watch a rotation guide to see what my rotation will be looking like come end game.. and well.. all I can say is that not only did I understand nothing because I don't yet know the skill names, but I couldn't even follow the skills you were using in order because I'm too new, LOL. But I know well made guide when I see one, and this is definitely well made. It's clear, you vocalize what skills to use in order, and why. When I DO hit end-game, you bet your butt I'm coming back to this video to learn.

[miqotesoulia]

very good, seen another video before hand doing this opener. You just a have a better explanation segment of how it all flows together. Thanks. SAM and RDM will be my go to for savage raiding I think this Tier.

[nkthegr]

Do you have some sort of written guide?

[Jon-jtfy]

I'll never understand why people put their skills on their bar in a really weird way.

My skills are lined up on my bar in the order that I use them, all the way to 7. Past 8, I rebind them like..Shift+T..Shift+R etc..usually stuff not tied directly to my rotation. I use Shift+H for Bloodbath because in my mind, Shift+H stands for Shift+Heal.

My rotation looks like: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Shift+(1-7).

if you don't wanna waste your potions just buy some cheap ones from a vendor you can use those in place of your expensive ones - but ty for the guide! it really helped

[vikyo]

You actually can delay Shoha by one GCD, it's less risk of GCD Clipping, because follow up of Ogi gives no charge for shoha

[josephchristianruiz]

thank you so much for the opener rotation, was wondering why I can't keep up with my dps. After watching the video I realized that I was doing some mistakes for my fillers which is taking alot slower to fill up my kenki gauge and meditation stack.

[Watch_over_us]

Okay so I was close. I figured to start with a midare and leave higanbana for later. I wasn't delaying the instant cast midare for senei or nomikiri for shoha. Other than that I had the same rotation. Cool!

[ShakeyMac]

That's pretty much the same logic I came up with, although I've been toying with the idea of starting with a Yuki opener, so unbuffed by Fuka and Fugetsu, then Meikyo into Midare and carry on from there. The idea here being if you've got a job in your group that uses a later buff for their opener then you can add two relatively inconsequential GCD's at the beginning in exchange for getting an extra Gekko or Kasha in under your first Meikyo buff.

Of course this won't really shake out until people get deep into savage over the first couple of weeks after release, but it's looking like there will be at least two viable forms of SAM opener out there, with each one likely tailored either based on fight length and/or party raid buff composition.

Either way, glad to see you're still loving the SAM. I hit 90 on it recently and it's been a blast. Everything just flows so smoothly.

[monojuice]

Can someone tell me what weapon that is the thumbnail plz

[Lotzo]

Yo.. I appreciate tha vid. But most of us are new to tha SAM. Think u can to a lvl 50 starter? Maybe 50 to 60 🙄ijs

[Leiurusgrey]

Just a random question as i randomly stumbled upon this video. Why geko before kasha? I'm really curious on the reasoning behind it as in the past it was kasha before geko as it gives you the skill speed.

[Snikkii]

A written guide would be really nice, specailly like the cheatsheet.

[tranceywhite]

so im new to ff14 and this really helped .. I have an side question tho how did you change the look on the ken gauge ?
